A stop assist system for moving a moving body to a stop position and making the moving body stop at the stop position includes: an external environment recognizing unit that recognizes an external environment of the moving body; and a moving body control unit that executes a driving process to make the moving body travel to the stop position based on a recognition result of the external environment recognizing unit. The moving body control unit suspends the driving process when, while the moving body is traveling to the stop position, the moving body control unit determines, based on the recognition result, that there is an object within a range of a prescribed lateral threshold value on a lateral outside of the moving body and the object extends over a prescribed longitudinal threshold value or more along a travel direction within the range.
